Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A method, comprising: providing, to a first participant of plural participants, a first user interface for navigating a virtual space comprising plural rooms for virtual conferencing, the first user interface being configured to allow the first participant to move the plural participants among the plural rooms; providing, to a second participant of the plural participants, a second user interface for navigating the virtual space, the second user interface being configured to allow the second participant to move among the plural rooms while disallowing the second participant to move other participants of the plural participants among the plural rooms; receiving an indication of user input via the first user interface, to move the second participant from a first room of the plural rooms to a second room of the plural rooms; and providing, in response to receiving the indication, for switching the second participant from the first room to the second room.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second room is configured to allow the first participant to move the second participant out of the second room, and wherein the second room is configured to disallow the second participant from selecting to move out of the second room.
3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising: updating the second user interface to remove an interface element for allowing the second participant to select to move out of the second room.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first user interface is configured for an administrator to navigate the virtual space, and wherein the second user interface is configured for a participant other than the administrator to navigate the virtual space.
5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising: designating, prior to providing the first user interface, the first participant as the administrator; and designating, prior to providing the second user interface, the second participant as the participant other than the administrator.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first user interface includes a room list interface which lists the plural rooms and which provides for the first participant to move the plural participants among the plural rooms.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: providing, for each of plural participants, display of a participant video element which corresponds to the participant and which includes a video feed for the participant.
8. A system comprising: a processor; and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the processor to perform operations comprising: providing, to a first participant of plural participants, a first user interface for navigating a virtual space comprising plural rooms for virtual conferencing, the first user interface being configured to allow the first participant to move the plural participants among the plural rooms; providing, to a second participant of the plural participants, a second user interface for navigating the virtual space, the second user interface being configured to allow the second participant to move among the plural rooms while disallowing the second participant to move other participants of the plural participants among the plural rooms; receiving an indication of user input via the first user interface, to move the second participant from a first room of the plural rooms to a second room of the plural rooms; and providing, in response to receiving the indication, for switching the second participant from the first room to the second room.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the second room is configured to allow the first participant to move the second participant out of the second room, and wherein the second room is configured to disallow the second participant from selecting to move out of the second room.
10. The system of claim 9 , the operations further comprising: updating the second user interface to remove an interface element for allowing the second participant to select to move out of the second room.
11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the first user interface is configured for an administrator to navigate the virtual space, and wherein the second user interface is configured for a participant other than the administrator to navigate the virtual space.
12. The system of claim 11 , the operations further comprising: designating, prior to providing the first user interface, the first participant as the administrator; and designating, prior to providing the second user interface, the second participant as the participant other than the administrator.
13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the first user interface includes a room list interface which lists the plural rooms and which provides for the first participant to move the plural participants among the plural rooms.
14. The system of claim 8 , the operations further comprising: providing, for each of plural participants, display of a participant video element which corresponds to the participant and which includes a video feed for the participant.
15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the computer-readable storage medium including instructions that when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform operations comprising: providing, to a first participant of plural participants, a first user interface for navigating a virtual space comprising plural rooms for virtual conferencing, the first user interface being configured to allow the first participant to move the plural participants among the plural rooms; providing, to a second participant of the plural participants, a second user interface for navigating the virtual space, the second user interface being configured to allow the second participant to move among the plural rooms while disallowing the second participant to move other participants of the plural participants among the plural rooms; receiving an indication of user input via the first user interface, to move the second participant from a first room of the plural rooms to a second room of the plural rooms; and providing, in response to receiving the indication, for switching the second participant from the first room to the second room.
16. The computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the second room is configured to allow the first participant to move the second participant out of the second room, and wherein the second room is configured to disallow the second participant from selecting to move out of the second room.
17. The computer-readable medium of claim 16 , the operations further comprising: updating the second user interface to remove an interface element for allowing the second participant to select to move out of the second room.
18. The computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the first user interface is configured for an administrator to navigate the virtual space, and wherein the second user interface is configured for a participant other than the administrator to navigate the virtual space.
19. The computer-readable medium of claim 18 , the operations further comprising: designating, prior to providing the first user interface, the first participant as the administrator; and designating, prior to providing the second user interface, the second participant as the participant other than the administrator.
20. The computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the first user interface includes a room list interface which lists the plural rooms and which provides for the first participant to move the plural participants among the plural rooms.
